The ad generator is a generative artwork that explores how advertising uses and manipulates language. Words and semantic structures from real corporate slogans are remixed and randomized to generate invented slogans. These slogans are then paired with related images from Flickr, thereby generating fake advertisements on the fly. By remixing corporate slogans, I intend to show how the language of advertising is both deeply meaningful, in that it represents real cultural values and desires, and yet utterly meaningless in that these ideas have no relationship to the products being sold. In using the Flickr images, the piece explores the relationship between language and image, and how meaning is constructed by the juxtaposition of the two.

Formally, the colorasm as a conceptual project addresses several issues evolved recently (and not so recently) in relation to digital and net-art, significance of commerce and the value, ownership and authorship, rights and the basis for such in the realm of open cultural texts. Informally, for the project’s authors, colorasm is a peculiar net-experiment, an open-ended game of art and commerce conceived at the moment of declarative appropriation of 16,777,216 digital colours.
